"Yes, Mr. Secretary..."
Rekton nodded affirmatively.
All the high-ranking officials present rembered the thousands of naval forces in the Pacific earlier; how similar was this scene to the current one?
However, what made Rekton certain this ti was the terrorist event created by the Jiepeng people, whereas last ti in the Pacific, the suspicion for the death of thousands of naval forces fell on Huaxia. So, was it really Huaxia or Jiepeng?
Abama also fell silent as he carefully thought through the situation. If it was Huaxia, did that an Huaxia had submarines capable of stealthily passing through the Strait of Malacca? Such national power would be comparable to Jiepeng.
But if it was Jiepeng, what bad intention would they have to do this?
Could it be that Jiepeng wanted to ignite a war in the West? But a Western war would bring no benefit to Jiepeng either! So this possibility is ruled out.
Which leaves only Huaxia, according to Rekton, who ntioned during the exploration of the Bermuda Triangle that nurous countries surrounded special forces personnel from Huaxia, even killing those who ca from Huaxia.
Does this suggest that Huaxia really dispatched the God who annihilated their thousands of naval forces in the Pacific to retaliate in the Atlantic? Is God's true nature one of arrogance and a love for creating terrorist events?
Thinking of this, Abama's already somber expression grew even darker. Huaxia's strength truly exceeded his imagination. And who exactly is this person called God? Could he be another Bin Laden?
Secretary of State Henry Potter remained silent, even though Rekton emphasized repeatedly that it was the work of Jiepeng people, he had his own insights and perspectives.
Being able to reach the position of Secretary of State, his ntal agility naturally wouldn't be inferior to Abama's; whatever Abama could think of, he could think of as well.
"Mr. President, Mr. Henry, I have so useful information to report to you." Leah, the director of the Central Intelligence Bureau, United States' largest intelligence agency, said.
"What information?" Abama looked at Leah and asked.
"Based on our intelligence, a plane from Huaxia entered the Caspian Sea, diterranean Sea, Algiers, and Morocco from the southwest Tibet region of Huaxia entering the Atlantic Ocean two nights ago. I don't believe these rampant terrorists are Jiepeng people because Jiepeng people only departed from Hokkaido at noon the next day, reaching the Atlantic late at night. So, I wonder if this could be a terrorist event orchestrated by Huaxia?" Leah shared his insights.
"I don't believe that Huaxia, as a nation, possesses such advanced technology. Not to ntion, would they dare to transport tens of thousands of tons of explosives on their plane?" Minister of Defense Cooper expressed that it was unlikely to be Huaxia, considering the imnse risk involved in transporting such explosives at high altitudes.
Moreover, transporting tens of thousands of tons from Huaxia to the Atlantic, and then from the Atlantic air to the ground would consu a huge amount of manpower and resources. So he didn't think it was sothing Huaxia could accomplish.
Of course! Minister of Defense Cooper's insights also served to reassure everyone, lest the nurous high officials in the United States thought Huaxia was so powerful that they couldn't be beaten.
"Without evidence, any further research is in vain. Let's talk about how to deal with Britain's lawsuit instead!" Abama waved his hand to stop everyone from continuing to discuss who was behind the terrorist event.
What good does research do? In their current awkward situation, let alone sending people into Bermuda, rely mobilizing any military force would result in condemnation from nurous United Nations countries.
So, at this point, the United States can only be passive like a grandson.
"What's the President's opinion?" Secretary of State Henry Potter handed this thorny issue to Abama.
As President, Abama was required to handle so affairs personally, therefore he could only face Britain's lawsuit honestly, apologize, and offer compensation.
Britain sued, demanding that the United States compensate them with fifteen islands near Puerto Rico, which are all large islands and significant border defense points, making it impossible for the United States to agree to such a demand.
Fortunately, Britain did not truly intend to claim these fifteen islands, but they prepared another demand:
The United States invaded their territories, causing massive losses, so they demanded $10 billion per island, totaling for fifteen islands. Britain, in consideration of the United States maintaining world peace for many years, only requested $1 trillion in total.
And $1 trillion for Huaxia would be nearly 7 trillion, an astronomical figure!
That's why only Britain dared to make such a demand.
Of course! The United States also had the right to negotiate, but they acknowledged their fault and feared that persisting on this matter would impede the operations of their departnts in other countries.
Thus, for the smooth operations and intelligence exchanges of United States departnts worldwide, they chose compromise.
On that day, the United States admitted their mistake. Although they were distressed over the loss of $1 trillion, they also earned a good reputation among many countries as a result.
It can be said that the United States both gained and lost, only the losses were greater than the gains.
This battle ended after Ye Hao and others bombed the fifteen islands in Bermuda, while Ye Hao and his group embarked on another level of exploration.
This was the collective goal of many countries previously, but they were now too afraid, or the current tis were too tumultuous for any state to dare send people to Bermuda Triangle again. At that ti, they would be speechless to explain, as the United States would find excuses to suppress them as terrorists, even threatening their own country.
Looking at the empty nearby islands, Ye Hao lounged comfortably on the beach.
At this mont, Wang Rou brought a glass of coconut juice to Ye Hao's side, and Ye Hao smiled, "Thank you."
"It's not for you, what are you thanking for, hmph!" Wang Rou said and started drinking.
Upon hearing this, Ye Hao smiled awkwardly.
After taking a sip, Wang Rou handed it over to Ye Hao, who waved his hand and said, "I'm not thirsty."
"Disdain , is that it?" Wang Rou glanced at Ye Hao with resentnt.
How could Ye Hao dare disdain her, despite blending into the special operations team, she was still exceptionally beautiful.
"Then drink up!" Wang Rou realized she was becoming more reliant on Ye Hao and could even say she was numbly starting to like Ye Hao, so she hoped for more attention from him.
"Well, haha, I slipped while swimming earlier and took a big mouthful of water, so I'm really not thirsty!" Ye Hao said, then stood up and walked towards Xue Zhaolong and the others.
At that mont, Xue Zhaolong and the others were studying the picture of the pagoda. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to vote with recomndation tickets and monthly tickets on Qidian, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.)
